Spin-filtered edge states with an electrically tunable gap in a two-dimensional topological crystalline insulator
Three-dimensional topological crystalline insulators were recently predicted and observed in the SnTe class of IV–VI semiconductors, which host metallic surface states protected by crystal symmetries. In this work, we study thin films of these materials and expose their potential for device applicat...
